Just finished reading the whole 20 pages of thread..:)

Top yarn, so pretty much you would recommend from a stock 20' to go for

*power fc

*trust td06 20g 8cm

*greedy mani and wastegate

*stick with oem plenum and cams,few gains from gears?

Just trying to get an idea of what I need to get to around the 240-250kw region,

And am assuming I could probably have a more responsive, snappier setup by dropping down to a 2530? Wouldn't bother dropping the overall power output if it wasn't much more responsive

yep spot on mate. to that list you need to add some injectors, fuel pump, Z32 AFM, good exhaust, front mount intercooler and a decent clutch. and yes it'll be more responsive with a 2530 but no where near the top end hit of the old TD06. probably a faster road car though but less fun on track.

Yep yep do see where your coming from re the turbos. I understand the other things u said ie z32 afm fuel pump, good fmic, just wasnt sure on the main power getters. This may sound like I'm wasting my time but I do love the 20'

My aim is to have a decent car that can switch from circuit to drift with minimal fuss and still perform. Hence why I'm looking for a decentish midrange torque + response so I can fry tyres nice n easy:P.....,,all whilst keeping the rb20

Yeh, a 2530 makes for a nice setup, but I personally think its worthwhile losing 15-20rwkws at 3,800rpm odd to make equal and more power from 4,200rpm. If you are caught in the wrong gear etc the TD06 can be a bit painful...but I feel a TD06 will make for the quicker car all other things being equal around a track, drifting or drags

But the truth is its pretty easy to spend 5k getting a TD06 setup singing so whatever you chose just do the numbers carefully before hand and make sure its the path you want to take.

Thanks for the advice, it will be well -heeded.

Am trying to work of the experience you have here to make life a bit easier for myself but from what you say I think it will be td06....am seriously pondering a kinugawa td06.....

There's just so many trims lol. Sh.sl etc, should I go 20g or 25g and which trim do you reccomend??

I think if you can get a 10cm TD05 exhaust housing then I would grab a kinugawa TD05h-18G and throw 18psi at it. I suspect you may be down 20-25rwkws compared to the TD06-20G but between 245-255rwks would be a good cross between 2530 and TD06-20G. If you get bored of the power just throw a kinugawa TD06-20G on it...but I suspect the 18G could make for a generally faster more reliable RB20

The TD05-18G comes internally or externally gated. If you can stretch the dollars I suggest going the external gate as its my opinion that the RB20 likes an exhaust manifold a lot more then the RB25 as you dont have the extra compression, variable inlet timing and compression the 25 has.

Yeh, the Dutton footage was funny. The car had a fair bit of coverage considering it didnt really factor in the placing on the event. One year when Juz was co-driving she got her own 2 min segment which meant the lil R32 got plenty of coverage :)

Right now I am trying to move around dates as I am entered in the SAU Nationals but having wisdom teeth out the Thursday before the event :(

Was actually looking for something else when i came across this thread....Larv the car Roy and jjjjjesus you have some patience mate...anyway ive been a RB20 fan for years now and after a hard year of working llllong long hours and saving alot my (r32 4 door) goes into a performance workshop tmrw for a replacement engine (20 of course) and a retune with the following goodies - :worship: gtr injectors and resistor pack off of a 2004 nur spec gtr, Z32 air flow meter,apexi power fc, cam gears,FMIC,Bleed valve (4 now), 3inch zorst all the way with 4 inch tip, orc clutch and lightened flywheel,bosch 044 fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and a genuine td05/20g turbo with turbosmart ultra gate and screamer ..I know that the td06 is a better turbo at top end but i chose to sacrifice top end for less lag and more fun sooner rather then the 700rpm to 1000 rpm later..i do have a question tho in regards to cams, i was intending to get tomei pon cams but after reading the whole 20odd page killa read im sorta in 2 minds now as if they will be worth it..? any ideas?

Cheers mate

Edited by rb.20.4ht

Sounds like a sorted package. I personally wouldnt bother with cams. I think std are fine. That said I do have some Tomei 256/8.5mm cams that may get a god in a few weeks when my car finally goes E85. Perhaps they will work, but I suspect I will lose power again.I will be sure to report back either way.

And just got back from the SAU Nationals where the car ran pretty well all day. A few little gremlins that hurt early running but car drive home which is the main thing. I think its time for a compression test to see how the engine is holding up.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
